CANDIDATES FOR MAYOR.
The Fight for the Nomination g. Tri-
angular One-Naming of the Demo-

The Fight for the Nomination a iris
angular One-Naming of the Demo-
cratic Candidates.
CHARLESTON, Oct. 23-The crop OF
candidates for Mayor is growing finely
The race for the Mayoralty seems
to have narrowed down to a trian-
gular fight between Capt. George d.
Bryan, Alderman E. f. Sweegan and AL
derman A. w. Ecllel, with the first named
far in the lead, and with the possibility Of
dark horse, who has not yet been named.
The dark horse, however, will not MATERIAL
ize unless there should be q deadlock in the
convention, of which there are no indica-
tions at this time
Alderman Eckel is the representative OF
the German element aid has this advantage,
that he will poll the solid vote OF the Ger
man population of the city. The Germans,
as is their custom the world over, always
stick close together. But they have this
feature against them: Many Of them are
shopkeepers who don't take enough interest
in politics to neglect their business in order
tosvote. Capt. +. w. Wagner, the mer-
chant prince Of East Bay, could bring out
very strong German vote-say about 500
if he should take up the cudgels for DIR.
Eckel, but Capt. Wagner has not yet taken
up the cudgels He is at present pretty
well wrapped up in the Gala Week prepara-
tions.
Alderman Sweegan has served as Alder
man for many years as a representative
Irishman, but Alderman Sweegan nor any
body else cannot unite the Irish vote Tbs
Irish American voters OF the city are stron4
enough to exercise very potent influence
in any election held here. but they are not
clannish. 1t is probable that in push Capt.
Bryan would poll rs many Irish votes as
Id Sxua hn
vote here has comparatively small strength
in conventions, principally because Of it's
indifference to political matters Still there
are numbers of leading citizens who take
part i'm the campaign and whose influence
amounts to a good deal even in convention
of politicians.
Altogether the coming election promises
to be exciting, exhilarating and interesting.
COTTON FIRES.
Charleston is congratulating herself on
the immunity she has enjoyed thus far from
cotto fires Charleston's escape has been
phen Jmenal. Since the opening of the cot
ton season there have been over a dozen cot
ton fires, but it has always occurred that
the circumstances were favorable to prevent
serious results. On one occasion bale of
cotton caught fire at the very moment it
was about being lowered into the hold of an
ocean tramp which had almost completed
its cargo Had the flames broken out
twenty seconds later the whole of the ships
cargo would have had to be deluged. As it was
the burning bale was dumped overheard, and
a disaster averted On another occasion
fire started in warehose in which there
were rearly 1000 bales. BY luck and good
management only forty bales were
damaged The only severe fire thus far
was that on the steamship Bothal. In this
case the match had get in the hold before it
exploded, and about 800 bales were damaged.

Bishop McQuaid Gives the Ex-Priest
a Raking Over.
ROCHESTER, N Y, Oct 23-Bishop Nc
Quad to-day paid some attention to Father
McGlynn During his sermon he said: ION
Thursday of last week an communicated
Catholic priest who is running about
turning the stone for the grinding of
politicians axes addressed a Rochester audi
ence, such as it was, of the men
who supported this unfrocked priest by
their presence, whose names are given in the
daily papers, itsis unnecessary to speak at
present. Political hereSies of community in
land are as old as hell. He is a man who
for years accepted food and clothing of the
Propaganda which he now calls the ma
chine, and this is the man who calls the
Cardinal who presided over him "A yellow
skinned Italian."'
HIS CAREER AT ST. STEPHENS.
The Bishop then alluded to DR.. McGlynn's
career at St. Stephens. He said that "Dr
McGlynn found himself when a very young
man a priest over the largest Catholic con-
gregation in the country. After nineteen
years the church found itself $145, 900 in
debt. without schools and considerably dis
organized. He was either incapable or in
different to his work, and ought
to have been removed long before
he was, When Catholic priest or any
instructed Catholic goes to hear this man it
is a sin, and he is liable to excommunica-
ton If this thing goes on you will find
that and other Catholic bishops will pro
nolnce sentence of excolnm unication
against those who, not being ignorant,
hover about this man"

Cheers and Jeers.
LONDON, Oct. 23.--Several thousand of
the unemployed, with red flag at their
head, marched in procession this afternoon
from Trafalgar square to Westminster Alb
bey, and although no invitation hadIbeen ex-
tended 1 200 of the crowd were admitted
The flag was left in charge of
vergers, inside the abbey, while many of
the unexpected visitors remained covered
and indulged in whistling, while others
mounted the pedestals of various statues, or
mingled with the decent people present, who
mostly left the building. The crowd, as a
rule, chewed tobacco and expectorated
everywhere, regardless of the sur
roundings, until the first lesson
was announced, when the reader
was so loudly jeered as to completely
drown his voice. The second lesson was
similarly read. Canon Prothers then
preached a sermon, taking for his text
Romans, chapter xii, l. In his discourse he
argued that punishment of the law-breaker
was necessary for the good Of the community.
This was received with cries of "Oh, OH"
and ''bosh.n The preacher earnestly appealed
for order, and exhorted his hearers to try
and uproot evil and plant good instead.
That's what we are trying to do" was
shouted and received with cries of hear!
hearw and cheers
THE CANON ADDRESSES THE MOB.
Canon Prothers now threw his notes aside
and addressed himself directly to the
roughs He said: "Legslation could alone
provide remedy for hunger and suffering,
but everybody could express sympathy"

Canon> Prothers continued: Charitable
agencies pigst do much. IA voice; I'VE
don't waiit charity. We want work" v
The reverend gentleman enlisted the atten-
ton of the mob when he advocated State
assistance in times of distress. At the close
of his remarks the mob hissed and marched
out of the Abbey, cordially cheered by their
comrades in waiting outside. The whole
mob then proceeded, shouting and hooting,
to Trafalgar square, where the leaders de-
nounced the church and police. Several
arrests were made of brawling persons and
thieves.

MULDRoW FOR SECRETARY.
Secretary Lamar Said to be Backin
Him for the Place.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-The friends of
Assistant Secretary Henry L. Muldrow of
the Interior Department, seem confident
that he will succeed Mr.. Lamar as Secreta-
ry Of the Interior. They say that he has the
support of Secretary Lamar, who has a very
high opinion of him. Secretary Lamar
selected Mr. Muldrow for Assistant Secre-
tary of the Interior, because he thought
him better fitted for the place than any of
the others mentioned for it, although some
of them were more distinguished men. He
has left Mr. Muldrow in charge of the whole
department, when he himself had to be
absent, with entire confidence. Mr.. Null
drow has shown complete mastery of all
matters coming before him as Assistant
Secretary. The President will probably
this week tender Mr.. Lamar the place ON the
Supreme Bench vacated by Judge Woods
death. Secretary Lamar will accept. The
President will then consider the question of
Secretary Lamars successor.

An Iowa Demon Seized by Desire
to Take Human Life.
DEs MONIES, Ia, Oct. ga shocking
tragedy at Maxwell, Story county, last
night, has plunged that community into the
deepest gloom. 1t appears that Perry
Ackers, who committed the cowardly muir
der, started out last evening about o'clock,
bent on destroying somebody. He bor-
rowed a revolver from a hardware
store on the pretense that he wanted to
shoot a dog, but he went straight to the
office of Justice of the Peace Schmetzer,
and asking him if he was ready to take his
medicine, administered it without any fur
ther explanation, shooting him in the left
lower jaw, the ball passing down and out
by the shoulder-blade.
MURDERS THE MAYOR.
He next entered the Office of Mayor
French, and stealing up behind him sent a
bullet into his brain. The Mayor never ut
tered a word, but died within an hour
The murderer then passed into the street,
his crime as yet being unknown, and meet
ing several citizens talked in a threatening
manner about evening old scores, and
brandished his revolver freely.
SENDS HIMSELF TO HADEs.
Passing on to the entrance to Odd Fellows
Hall he said good by to the Postmaster on
the way, remarking that he was going to
hell, and then shot himself, dying immedi-
ately. Ackers was a shiftless fellow, who
had been for sometime all object of suspic-
ion, but no one anticipated any such a
startling tragedy as came.
